RAIL ROAD EXCITEMENT.

A corps Of surveyors passing
through town last Thursday night
threw our citizens into fever Of
excitement and soon the word was
out that the Atchison was going to
make a re-surYey of the Kirksville
route. The surveyors claimed
that they were going to take
the high water mark on the Chari-
ton and went west ON the 7:30
train. It now turns out that there
were two parties of surveyors.
One of them went to Novinger
stopped over night and walk
ed back to Kirksyille the next
morning, the other going on to
Green City and from there TO VIM
negan. 1t has also leaked out
that this party had been ordered
to go to a point sixteen miles west
OF La Plata and run a line in a
northeasterly direction. Mr. [.
j. Dockery of the firm of Dockery
& Ivie, received letter a few days
since, telling him they had some
more work for him and would call
In few days. AS the firm has
made an abstract of the entire
southern line, any extra work
would evidently be on new line.
1t is also rumored that the Chari-
ton crossing on the southern route
Is not satisfactory as the valley is
several miles wide at this point
and the nature of the soil
would make the building
very troublesome and ex-
pensive. We would not raise a
single false hope but taking all
the evidence Kirksville's chances
to secure the road are just as good
as when the survey was first made
through the town three months
ago.

Brashear Items.

Saltriver was higher last week
than it has been since 1876, but it
is quietly resuming its natural
position.
Listen for the whistle of the C.
& S. F., engines, about, Nov. next.
Do you think we Brashearites will
even have the privilege of hearing
them whistle? Of course we will,
and they may pass by us too.
There IS new minister at Rev.
himseys. He was ordained as a
resident Of Brashear, Friday even
ing last. Rev. K. willbelikoly to
preach every day now for about 81
years.
The concert at Bullion which
was to have been given by Prof. j.
r. Howey, and his class at that
place, did not come off Saturday
night, from the fact that they
made up another term and will
give the concert at the close of
that. 1t was disappointment to
many.
Quite a number Of the young
folks met at DR.. Wiseman's last
Saturday evening, and enjoyed
themselves for a couple of hours,
singing.
The second musical entertain
ment of the musical institute will
begin Thursday evening, Feb. "a.
There will be about fifteen sing
ers from other counties,
to take part. 1t will be COM
prised of classic and comic music,
duets, solos, quartettes, trios, etc,
lnterspersed.. with instrumental
music. Every body invited.

viii you Make a Garden.

If you intend to make a garden
next spring, it may interest you to
know that you can get 81 worth of
northern grown seed of your own
selection free by subscribing for
The Housekeeper. Minneapolis,
Mimi, at the regular price 81 per
year. These seeds were grown i'll
Minnesota and Dakota, by the
well known house of Northrup,
Braslan d Co., and Will produce
much earlier, and mora vigorous
plants than seed grown further
south. One trial-and it costs
nothing to try-will convince you
of this fact and you will never
again use any but northern grown
seeds.

WIDE AWAKE For 1887.

Half a dozen years ago it seem
ed impossible for "Wide Awake
to be more beautiful or more at
tractive, yet year after year it has
gone on, adding new features and
developing old ones, until it seems
at last excellence can no further
go. Its wealth of stories, sketches
poetry and illustrations furnish
an inexhaustible reservoir of en-
tertainment and instruction for
the member of the family circle,
old as well as young and its month
ly visit is like ray of golden
sunshine in the household. Wide
Awake fills every demand for a
tirst-class magazine for children
in the way of amusement, solid,
valuable reading, stimulating
thoughts and suggestions and ar
tistic illustrations. The Christ
mas { Dec. issue is particularly
fine. 1t contains about hundred
pages crammed with reading mat
ter and pictures. Price 20 cents.
The yearly subscription price has
been reduced to 81 40 a year from
5000 while the magazine will be
made more attractive than ever.

THE FLOORS
of the cathedral cover nearly one
acre of surface and as there are but
few seats the greater part of the
congr egation kneel or sit ON the
floor Beggars are met in various
parts clothed in rage, deformed
with sores and occasionally we see
q penitent ON his knees with his
head bowed down to the floor. He
may occupy this position forhours
as a self-imposed pennance for
his sins, The pulpits are built of
white and clouded marble and the
holy water and baptismal tents
are beautifully carved and are u.s.
ually made of Pure onyx.
THE TWIN TOWERS
are $50 feet high about 33 feet
square and have withstood the
shock of several severe earth
quahes. The belfry in the tower
has forty-eight bells. The great
clock is situated between the tow
ers and has metallic face about
ten feet in diameter. Above it
there are three statues represent
ing the three theological virtues.
Next we reach the lookout from
which we have a magnificent view
of the entire valley of Mexico in
Guiding the historic battle fields
of Churubusco, Molino del Rey
and Chapultepec; and fifty miles
away we see the snow covered vol
canic peak of Mount Popocate-

will certainly not decline, in some
directions they will advance. En-
pioyers have opened the year in
several directions by advancing

Steel rails have bounded
from S34 to S3S. and 1,300, 600

Last week the editor of the
Democrat became imbued with a
spirit Of enterprise, in fact, en-
thused and proposed that Adair
county build a railroad through
Wilson township to connect with
the Atchison. We wish to give
due credit to the Democrat for be-
coming enthused over any enter
prise, yet we fail to see wherein a
short line through Wilson town.
ship would benefit anything except
the Atchison. His principal argu-
ment is, that the road would be
easily operated as the trains would
be light, and they evidently would
be, but not nearly so light as the
editorial. II the Atchison runs
on its present location, we would
have two lines OF rail road, either
one of which would tap it within
fifteen miles of Kirksyllle, and tc
build another line midway be-
tween these points for the sole ben
eft of the Atchison would be the
EXTREMIST nonsense. IL Adair
county wishes to build another
rail road the route selected would
probably be through the coal fields
of northwest Adair where We
would be joined in the enterprise
by Putnam county. This woulc
not only add wealth to our county
but would also build up the traffic
of the roads which we already
have, and which we should take 6
pride in doing. It's our business
to sustain and bnild up the enter
prises which come to us voluntari
ly,and money foolishly spent in ths
opposite course would only proye
disastrous.
